#Ticats sign 2017 East all-star LB Larry Dean for around $160,000. Some personnel men believe he was the best middle linebacker in the league last season. #HamOnt

The Valdosta State product went unselected in the 2011 NFL draft but signed a free agent contract with Minnesota. He spent three seasons with the Vikings, one in Buffalo and another in Tampa Bay amassing 37 tackles and one forced fumble.

Lots of players are signing short term contracts because the CBA is up soon. The scope of player contracts will probably drastically change with a new deal. Snake I think all Cats fans would be upset if we lost Dean. Cant blame him for all of the run coverage. The guy is a beast and will only get better.
